Digital camera reviews of Vicks V5100N 1.7 Gallon Ultrasonic Humidifier
Digital camera Review: silent? not quite...
Summary: 1 Stars
i wear earplugs at night and i could still hear this humidifier.... how is that silent?Digital camera Review: Smell
Summary: 2 Stars
I suppose the operation of the unit works fine, we have no complaints there. We are concerned with the smell that the unit outputs. We have extreamly hard water and are using the demin. filter that came with the unit. As soon as we started the humidifier, there was a sharp smell coming out with the vapors. Has anyone else experienced this or knows how to clean/ fix it?Digital camera Review: This is not silent...
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted a humidifier that was silent, but when I plugged this in, not only could I hear it from the other room, but it's a high-pitched whine. I don't know what to do about it. I think I'll probably just return it for something different.Digital camera Review: A little too noisy
Summary: 2 Stars
The unit seemed to work well, and produced a nice vapor, but we bought it for bedroom use and it was just too noisy. It produced a high pitched whine which was uncomfortable. I could hear it from adjacent rooms. We tried it in the TV room where our Christmas Tree is and it worked better there but it we could still hear it so we returned the unit.Digital camera Review: Not so great for tracheostomy use
Summary: 2 Stars
This Vicks ultrasonic humidifier was thoroughly recommended by everyone when we needed a humidifer with the possible hose attachment that goes to a mask around my dad's new tracheostomy. Problem is, it puts out TOO much mist even at the lowest setting! We've tried everything including taping the hole, but it then goes from 'all' to 'nothing' because the small hole desired quickly coalesces water preventing steam from passing through. Of course it wasn't until we started mentioning it to the various RN's that come to take care of my dad that 'everyone' using it for the same purpose complains of the same excessive mist problem. So... I've resorted to making large hole cuts in the plastic tubing leading up to my dad's mask. Not a great way to do it (and just asking to be seeded by bacteria), but if anyone has a better suggestion, I'm all for it, even if it means suggesting a different humidifier...
